Notes
Cooking spray helps act as the "oil" to help "fry" the chicken, as if you were deep frying it. Really spray your chicken so all the spots get a beautiful golden color and "crisps" as if it were fried.If you have larger pieces of chicken you can cook another 5 minutes.Want even crispier chicken? During the last 5-7 minutes, crank the heat to 400 degrees!
